Four $500 prizes, one
each for soprano, mezzo-soprano (alto), tenor, baritone (bass), will be
awarded as performance fees to soloists selected to appear under the
baton of Maestro David Katz in concert with the Chicago Bar Association Symphony Orchestra & Chorus, performing the solo portions of Beethoven's Choral Fantasy and the Quartet from Verdi's Rigoletto on Wednesday, May 21, 2014 at St James Episcopal Cathedral, Chicago. (Dress rehearsal
Tuesday evening, May 20, 2014, same location.)

Each winner will receive a
$500 all-inclusive fee (no additional housing, travel or per diem),
payment to be made on the day of the performance. Although the Chicago
Oratorio Award is an additional contest open to all professional and
college/university applicants for The American Prize in Vocal
Performance, 2014, it is geared primarily to those who live within
comfortable travel distance of Chicago and/or who can make their own
housing/travel arrangements.
